The Sky Is Everywhere

     The book I have been reading is The Sky Is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson. I chose this book because I've heard many great things about this author and the books she has written. 

     The book begins with letting us know about the main character's problem, which is the death of her sister. In the book, it says, "The morning of the day Bailey died..." This shows her problem and allows us to get to know the character a bit better, and to understand the pain she may go through. 

    Something else the book introduces us to is another problem Lennie (the main character) has. In the book it says, "It's not just because my sister Bailey died four years ago, or because my mother hasn't contacted me in sixteen years, or even because suddenly all I think about is love." This confused me since this was almost in the beginning of the book, and I wasn't sure what it meant, or what it was trying to indicate for the future. I wonder if she she thinks love is the only option when alone. 

     I like this book so far because it involves conflict with Lennie and two boys named Joe and Toby. I like when there is conflict like this because I expect one to be together, but you never really know what could happen. I'm excited to read more of it.
